A private company is known for its efficiency, transparency and employee welfare. The company though owned by a private individual has a cooperative character where employees feel a sense of ownership. The company employs nearly 700 personnel and they have voluntarily decided not to form a union. One day suddenly in the morning, about 40 men belonging to a political party gate-crashed into the factory demanding jobs in the factory. They threatened the management and employees, and also used foul language. The employees feel demoralized. It was clear that those people who gate-crashed wanted to be on the payroll of the company as well as continue as the volunteers/members of the party. The company maintains high standards in integrity and does not extend favours to civil administration that also includes law enforcement agency. Such incidents occur in public sector also. (a) Assume you are the CEO of the company. What would you do to diffuse the volatile situation on the date of gate-crashing with the violent mob sitting inside the company premises? (b) What could be the long-term solution to the issue discussed in the case? (c) Every solution/action that you suggest will have a positive and a negative impact on you (as CEO), the employees and the performance of the employees. Analyze the consequences of each of your suggested actions.

एक निजी कंपनी अपनी दक्षता, पारदर्शिता और कर्मचारी कल्याण के लिए विख्यात है। यद्यपि कंपनी का मालिक एक निजी व्यक्ति है, तथापि उसका एक सहकारिता वाला आचरण है जहाँ कर्मचारी स्वामित्व की भावना रखते हैं। कंपनी में लगभग 700 कार्मिक नियुक्त हैं और उन्होंने स्वेच्छापूर्वक संघ न बनाने का निर्णय लिया है। अचानक एक दिन सुबह एक राजनीतिक पार्टी के 40 आदमी ज़बरदस्ती फैक्ट्री में घुस आए और फैक्ट्री में नौकरी माँगने लगे। उन्होंने प्रबंधन और कर्मचारियों को धमकियाँ और गालियाँ भी दीं। कर्मचारियों का मनोबल गिरा। यह स्पष्ट था कि जो लोग ज़बरदस्ती घुस आए थे, वे कंपनी के वेतन-पत्रक में होना चाहते थे और साथ ही साथ पार्टी के स्वयंसेवक/सदस्य बने रहना चाहते थे। कंपनी ईमानदारी के उच्च मानकों को बनाए रखती है और सिविल प्रशासन, जिसमें कानून प्रवर्तन अभिकरण भी शामिल है, का कोई अनुग्रह नहीं करती। इस प्रकार के प्रसंग सार्वजनिक क्षेत्रक में भी घटते हैं। (क) मान लीजिए कि आप कंपनी के मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी (सी० ई० ओ०) हैं। आप उपद्रवी भीड़ के गेट के अंदर जबरन घुस आने और कंपनी परिसर के भीतर धरना देने की तारीख को प्रचंड स्थिति के निष्प्रभावन के लिए क्या करेंगे? (ख) इस मामले में चर्चित मुद्दे का दीर्घकालीन समाधान क्या हो सकता है? (ग) प्रत्येक समाधान/कार्रवाई का, जिसको आप सुझाएँगे, आप पर (सी० ई० ओ० के तौर पर), कर्मचारियों पर और कर्मचारियों के निष्पादन पर सकारात्मक और नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ेगा। अपने द्वारा सुझाई गई कार्रवाइयों में से प्रत्येक के परिणामों का विश्लेषण कीजिए।
